In which Georgia decides to let America go to bed? LOL

There's a joke in here, somewhere, about the lights going out staying on (in) georgia. 

And because I like the song:

Nope, they're still updating in GA and PA. I didn't need sleep anyway.

In Arizona's defense. There are armed douchbags trying to get in. I suspect the batch reporting in daylight hours is to try to mitigate that threat.

By the way, I also need to credit @GreyhoundFan for my sanity. Thank you for posting all of your updates, political cartoons, and political ads. I have really appreciated you throughout the last 4 years.

I really appreciate all the good articles she posts for us.

EDITED TO ADD:

FFS, I just got an ad from those Judicial Watch assholes bitching about Hillary Clinton's emails.

The evening news here in Sydney is showing Trump supporters armed with guns protesting.  So scary.  Stay safe friends.

It's late, but here is another song to listen to while waiting.

True, but the longer it goes on, the longer the nut jobs have to work themselves up into a serious frenzy. Better to just buckle down and get it finished ASAP, I’d think.

I like the earlier suggestion of something like Counting On slower than the Duggars

A few years ago (ok, like 10 years ago shhh I'm not old) we had an Australian election with a hung parliament - i.e. neither major party won enough votes, and needed to rely on coalitions with smaller parties and independents to form government. It came down to three seats with independents and which way they would throw their support, and they took a week or so to decide (after the count itself taking a few days to finalise). There was a website you could check on - doesaustraliahaveagovernmentyet.com and when you went there it was literally a big black page that said "No." until the independents announced who they were siding with and then it said "Yes." I'm starting to feel like instead of refreshing CNN I need a "has the election been called yet" equivalent.

Belgium didn't have a government for 589 days. I am still mildly surprised that the net result wasn't "do we actually need one? We'd save quite a bit..."

Scottie Nell Hughes. Forgot about her.

Another batch just came in from Georgia... only 665 votes between them now!

[JordynDarby5]

Sure, it can't be that many people didn't vote for Trump. No, that can't be it.  Surely that many people couldn't possibly hate Trump. It must be fraud and something illegal going on. Can't possibly be any other reason.  Nope, not a single one. 

or in other words-

Sorry Trump its not me its you. Oh, who am I kidding? Its definitely you.

[Smee]

Woah Georgia. That's insanely close.

W.T.F. (read the thread)

 

[fraurosena]

I’m guessing he found out Twitter is not on his side...

 

[Smash!]

Holy moly I couldn‘t imagine things will take that long. ? Come on Biden!!! 

Dear FJers in the US, stay safe and get some sleep. Big hugs.

[Zebedee]

Trump's lead down to 463 in GA.

If GA would calm itself with the updates for a few hours I would!

It looks like they are trying to update every hour. It's 10am where I am, and I've been "waking up" to check every hour or so. PA seems to be every 2 hours. I cannot wait for a non-caffeinated drink and an uninterrupted sleep. For once I'm glad I'm so behind with JRod.

[Destiny]

Looks like GA is probably done for a couple hours. Clayton appears done for now according to the reporter outside, and that’s where the numbers were from.

 

Imma nap while it’s a lull. Back in a few hours.

Didn't you say that like four hours ago??

[SassyPants]

I’m having acid reflux and insomnia, damn spicy marinara sauce. I could pull an all nighter, if needs be. Come on GA !

I watched this (in uk) just before going to bed at 2am!!!! Go Anderson!!!! I even grabbed a pen and wrote it down!! 

[Cartmann99]

CNN needs to stop calling their coverage Election Night in America. That ship has sailed.

Also, this woman talking about damaged ballots and trying to ascertain a voter's intent is giving me flashbacks of the 2000 election. 

[Dandruff]

MSNBC says it's awaiting new vote totals in PA but I'm not sure whether that's current or regurgitated "breaking news".

[fraurosena]

Fuck Trump. This is his doing!

 

[Destiny]

I lied.

 

Yay Georgia! Biden is in the lead there.

Biden’s lead in GA is 917.

[adidas]

Breaking news here - Biden has taken over Trump in Georgia and is in the lead by 917 votes.
